Chatsworth is offering a new way to stay on the estate with the launch of five luxury shepherd huts, now available to book.
Situated in a private hamlet in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the shepherd huts are just moments from famous Peak District walks, rides and landmarks, creating an ideal and secluded base for walkers, cyclists and nature enthusiasts. Guests can extend their experience with expert guided parkland walks, garden insight tours and creative courses at Chatsworth, just two miles away.
Sleeping two to four guests each, the five huts have been sympathetically designed to reflect their surroundings, bringing the outside in with high quality natural materials, such as ethically sourced oak. The skilfully handcrafted shepherds’ huts are fully insulated to be perfectly warm in winter and cool in summer.
Each hut has everything to meet guests’ needs from supremely comfortable beds (including bunk beds in the 4-person family hut), a log burning stove, fully-equipped bathroom, a mini kitchen with chef’s basics, outdoor furniture, Wi-Fi, and a welcome basket.
Richard Palmer, Managing Director of the Devonshire Hotels and Restaurants Group, said: “We’re delighted to launch our shepherds’ huts, offering a completely new way to enjoy Chatsworth. We know that spending time outdoors is something our visitors love, and now they can get even closer to nature whilst enjoying all the comfort they would expect.
“We hope the shepherd huts encourage more of our visitors to extend their stay and enjoy everything that Chatsworth and the Peak District have to offer – whether walking the Monsal Trail, discovering local producers and makers, visiting the house and garden, or exploring Chatsworth’s Stand Wood and Adventure Playground with family and friends.”
Chatsworth’s shepherd huts are available to book now here, with prices starting from £160 per night based on a minimum two-night stay.
